Trustees Discuss Possible High School Zone Adjustment
In the photo above, the current high school boundary line is in green and
a proposed boundary line is in red.
As part of this two-year plan, middle school No. 4 will open in the 2020-21 school year. The district is discussing the possibility of creating high school feeder patterns that allow two middle schools to feed directly into North Crowley High School and two middle schools to feed directly in Crowley High School.
Summary of proposed changes:
•Crowley Middle School and Summer Creek Middle School would feed into North Crowley High School
•H.F. Stevens Middle School and Middle School No. 4 would feed into Crowley High School
These proposed changes will continue to be reviewed before being brought back to the school board at a later date. If you would like to provide feedback or have questions about the proposal, please email information@crowleyisdtx.org.
